Which QB signs an NFL contract first?

byJohn Ewing

On Thursday, Ryan Tannehill fell awkwardly in practice hurting his knee. The Miami Dolphins fear their quarterback will need season-ending knee surgery. No decision has been made but without Tannehill, who would start for the Dolphins?

Miami has a competent backup in Matt Moore. Bettors would love to see the ten-year vet taking the snaps. Moore is 20-7 ATS, +12.5 units in his career. However, with a number of big name free agent quarterback still on the market it seems likely that Miami would consider signing another passer.

None of the above

+700

+600

Colin Kaepernick is the favorite and the odds have moved in his direction. The former 49ers signal caller would be a good insurance policy if Tannehill is out. Another option is Robert Griffin III but injuries have derailed a once promising career.

Sources say Jay Cutler would be willing to put off his broadcast career to play for Miami. Dolphins coach Adam Gase was offensive coordinator for the Bears in 2015.

Romo and Manziel remain longshots to be signed before the other quarterbacks on the list.

There is also a chance the Dolphins go in a different direction. For this bet, any other quarterback could sign with another team and cash +600 for the field.

There is a chance that Tannehill could miss the season, who will the Dolphins sign to replace him?
